WE have some more mysteries for you this week. Keep them coming in.

Why is a boxing ring square?

Why are things called the bees knees when bees don't have any?

If too many cooks spoil the broth, why do many hands make light work?

THE police say they're not giving up hope of bringing Ronnie Biggs back to justice.

They say after failing to get Big Ron back they'll try a new approach - getting Sheffield Wednesday's chairman to have a word.

WE have both had a great invitation this week to visit the first Blackpool Tower Model Boat Show which will be taking place in the flooded circus ring in the tower.

As we are a couple of big kids really we can't wait to get our hands on the remote controls... Carter's looking for a new hobby and this could be the start of big things!

It's on Saturday and Sunday at about 11am and all proceeds from the weekend will go to the RNLI.

THE television series The Bill has come in for a lot of stick recently.

So much so that the producers are axing several key members of the cast. This set us thinking - The Bill has been on our screens for years but in the next ten seconds can you instantly name three characters? Difficult isn't it?

FOR all our younger listeners and readers we are asking you to write to santa c/o our breakfast show and in Christmas Week Father Christmas has promised us he will call in to the studio to join us for breakfast - and one lucky boy and girl will get the chance to meet the man himself! So, come on, get writing!

WHAT do you call a woman with egg, bacon, beans, tomato, brown sauce, two rounds of toast and a cup of tea on her head?
